Science and Nature

16. There are two types of still used in the distillation of whisky. The pot still is used for single malts but what is the name of the still used for for grain whisky.
ANSWER:

• Coffey

"Unlike malt whisky which is exclusively produced from malted barley, grain whisky can be made from wheat, or corn. This kind of distillation was made possible by the invention of the Coffey Still. Production of grain whisky, which is an essential part of blended whisky, is much higher than the production of malt whisky. In 2001, the whisky industry used 550.000 ton of grain (wheat and corn), against 400.000 ton of barley for the single malt industry. "
